Presently, I am contemplating sleep
The kind that wraps me in a delicious dream,
Takes me to another dimension and
A few moments ago, I read through
Several slices of familiar and new-to-me writers.
Time moves on, put down the pen, fall into a deep sleep,
The kind that takes me to another place and time.
But right now, I realize my fingers are continuing to
Rhythmically type words that awaken my senses.
Inspiration flows postponing thoughts of sleep.
I find solace in the click, click tempo of one more thought.
Without delay, there is a soft nudge to rest.
The eye patch is no longer needed and sleep is calling.
I anticipate a restful sleep, the kind that refreshes the mind.
I wonder who else is writing late-night thoughts.

Perhaps this song will help me sleep.

I thank Aggie's Currently slice and Terje Akke's Right Now slice for their writing models.
Thank you Two Writing Teachers for this daily meeting place to connect with a community of reflective writers.
You express yourself so beautifully. I am not a late night writer :)
ReplyDeleteWishing you sweet dreams. I have tried to avoid late time slicing this year. So far so good. A week to go.
ReplyDeleteCarol, hole you got a well deserved rest. Sometimes the click, click tempo acts as a sedative and lulls us to sleep.
ReplyDeleteLove these two lines, "Inspiration flows postponing thoughts of sleep.
ReplyDeleteI find solace in the click, click tempo of one more thought." - isn't it wild how soothing it can be to focus on writing, so satisfying that one even postpones sleep? I hope you are sound asleep now, dreaming of more wonderful words.
